Peninsular Car Company Records
Posted by t.long on Wednesday, February 13, 2019 2:04 PM

Does anyone know if the records - cars orders/build records exist anyway?  I'm looking for records before they merged with Michigan Car Builders - from 1885 to 1890/93 -around that period.  

Would also like to find the Michigan-Peninsular company records too.

Any ideas on that?

I am totally clueless above the existence or nonexistence of those records.  However, a quick google search indcates that the companies were located in Detroit.  Try starting off with a call to the public library and/or any succesor company(ies).  You might get a lead which means another phone call etc.

Good luck.

Google them.  Lots of info, including that they merged with 12 other companies to become AC&F.
